Book Description
The US Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of The National Academies to conduct a workshop that would examine the interface of the medicolegal death investigation system and the criminal justice system. NIJ was particularly interested in a workshop in which speakers would highlight not only the status and needs of the medicolegal death investigation system as currently administered by medical examiners and coroners but also its potential to meet emerging issues facing contemporary society in America. Additionally, the workshop was to highlight priority areas for a potential IOM study on this topic. To achieve those goals, IOM constituted the Committee for the Workshop on the Medicolegal Death Investigation System, which developed a workshop that focused on the role of the medical examiner and coroner death investigation system and its promise for improving both the criminal justice system and the public health and health care systems, and their ability to respond to terrorist threats and events. Six panels were formed to highlight different aspects of the medicolegal death investigation system, including ways to improve it and expand it beyond its traditional response and meet growing demands and challenges. This report summarizes the Workshop presentations and discussions that followed them.

Moving Toward a More Uniform System

ISBN:
Category : Coroners

Pages : 204
Book Description
Texas operates a two-tiered system for certification of deaths. Elected officials with no scientific background determine and certify cause of death for residents in the majority of Texas counties. The issues raised by this system include accusations of missed homicides, incomplete vital statistics, under utilized public health data, and an overall lack of transparency. The purpose of this research is to first, establish a set of recommended minimum standards for the creation of medical examiner offices in Texas counties with populations under 500,000, based on the literature. The standards established include Education, Facilities and Staffing, Technology, and Oversight. Proposed medical examiner standards are presented to Texas experts in the medical examiner field. Finally, incorporating stakeholder recommendations and feedback, a revised set of minimum medical examiner office standards for Texas counties with populations under 500,000, is presented.
